Hi my friends! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Fall is in full swing and that means I am in full cranberry, cinnamon and pumpkin mode around here. I love baking this time of year and one of our favorite things to make is homemade granola. It makes the house smell amazing and it is just so comforting to have something baking all the time.
I really love making homemade breakfasts as often as I can & it doesn’t have to be difficult, expensive or time-consuming. Things like this quick & easy homemade granola recipe can keep everyone well fed throughout the week. A good breakfast is so important to kick the day off right.
Just look at all that deliciousness in there. My kids just love all the dried cranberries & walnuts that really make this pumpkin granola a favorite in this house. All those fall flavors packed into one little bowl can’t be beaten. I literally can’t make enough of this stuff. Between the kids and the hubs, this batch only lasts a couple days at best.
Pumpkin Cranberry Granola
The best part is that I usually have all the ingredients on hand. When I pick up all my ingredients to make this granola it costs less than $20, which is a bargain for month’s worth of cereal. Fortunately, I usually have all the ingredients on hand, so it is even more economical.
This recipe makes 6 teen size servings & I only used a small fraction of my ingredients. Which really works out great considering that I’m making this a couple times a week. Even better – this recipe is easy enough that my teens can make it themselves.
I highly recommend whipping up a double batch.
Thank you so much for spending some time with me today. See you next time!
